The X-R Forum (www.x-raiders.net/forum and Archive at www.x-raiders.net/forum2) has always been an important place for most of us. Keeping communications possible among various timezones and difficult schedules, this magnificent communication tool has allowed players from around the world to maintain a dialog among the team and helped greatly to coordinate group events such as Tournaments and more.

Although very convenient, social communications have evolved greatly in the past 10 years and we have seen many great tools come and die (R.I.P. MSN) but one change that seems to be quite strong now is undeniably Facebook.

Seeing that everyone is mostly on Facebook, I have come to the conclusion that it might be a good idea to test the viability of a Facebook-powered Forum as opposed to my beloved NetForum.
